Thanks Niels,

i've got everything working properly accept for the uploading. I've pretty much investigated every known problem and I've still come up empty handed.

My quotas are set up fine

Disk quotas for user upload (uid 1001):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/hda10 9852 358400 362520 31 0 0

I checked my partitions, lots of room. I monitored /tmp to see if it was filling up during the upload and that wasn't the problem. I used an ftp client to see if that might give me a little more insight as to why the uploads weren't working. It kinda seemed as though the transfer slowed down and then just came to a halt or was disconnected or wasn't kept alive, the small files seems to work fine because they upload before the connections slows down and halts. I'm not sure if that gives anymore information as to why it isn't working but any suggestions would be great.

Hi Steven,

you may know this already, but there are man pages for the vsftpd.conf file (i.e. #man vsftpd.conf ).

For greater control, e.g. limiting access, you may have to run the vsftpd server in standalone (without inetd) mode. I believe you control this through the vsftpd.conf file, specifically the "listen=YES" parameter. .

And then look for parameters like anon_max_rate, local_max_rate, max_clients, max_per_ip.

Sorry, I don't have any ideas about the large file transfer issue, but if you run vsftpd in standalone mode, at least you will have eliminated a variable (inetd).

I have an ftp server with several accounts and I have a special account where I can upload files. I can make folders, I can upload small files and I can upload folders with small files in them but when I try to upload bigger files, say the size of an mp3 it gives me an error (connection reset by server).

I have the data connection time out set high
data_connection_timeout=666666

And the idle time set just as high. I'm not sure what the problem is, at first I thought it may have been a permission problem but if that was the case then I wouldn't be able to upload the small files. If anyone has any clue as to why I am having this problem please let me know.

Oh and I was also wondering how to restrict the number of vsftpd process can run at one time. I had a recent problem with a user logging in hundreds of times causing my server to grind to a halt. Vsftpd is run though inetd and I didn't see any option for it in the vsftpd.conf file or the inetd conf file.
